New Orleans Rush (Showmen, #1)

by Kelly Siskind

Overview

Get swept away in this sexy grumpy sunshine romance readers are calling "addictive" and "fun" and "a must read!"

 

You know that Carrie Underwood song? The one about her keying her cheating ex's car? Beatrice Baker totally did that, except she vandalized the wrong guy's Mustang. Even worse, she can't pay for damages.

 

Huxley Marlow believes the sprite of a girl tearing up the side of his Mustang is a sign. One that reads: Free labor.

 

He's tasked with fixing his family's crumbling theater or losing everything they own. Luckily, he has a way to earn fast cash on the side, even if it's not entirely above board. Unluckily, he now has an unbearably sexy, glass-half-full-of-sunshine woman working as his assistant, driving him to distraction.

 

Beatrice never expected to fall for her grumpy boss, but the imposing man is secretly caring under all that gruffness. Huxley can't believe he's met the woman of his dreams at the absolute worst time. If Bea learns what he does at night, she might never look at him the same way again...

About the Author

A small-town girl at heart, Kelly moved from the city to open a cheese shop with her husband in northern Ontario. When she’s not neck deep in cheese or out hiking, you can find her, notepad in hand, scribbling down one of the many plot bunnies bouncing around in her head. She laughs at her own jokes and has been known to eat her feelings—gummy bears heal all. She’s also an incurable romantic, devouring romance novels into the wee hours of the morning.

Art and magic mesmerize in this endearing romance by Siskind (Licks). Chicago transplant Beatrice “Bea” Baker walked out on her no-good boyfriend four days into what was supposed to be their grand adventure of moving to New Orleans. Now her signature optimism and artistic inspiration have deserted her. Homeless and suffering from a toxic combination of cold medicine and liquor in a local bar, Bea’s misery is momentarily forgotten when she hits on a new arrival who’s wearing a top hat and cape. Illusionist Huxley Marlow is immediately intrigued by her, and after Bea keys his beloved car (thinking it belongs to someone else), he hires her to work off the damages by becoming his assistant in the failing magic show he performs nightly with his two brothers, following in the footsteps of their father, a legendary magician. For nine years, Huxley has been trying unsuccessfully to live up to his dead father’s larger-than-life legacy, while Bea’s been doing her best to run away from her own past. As Huxley slowly turns into Bea’s knight in shining armor, she recovers her joy. Like Huxley, readers won’t be able to resist falling under Bea’s spell. Agents: Flavia Viotti and Hannah Ekren, Bookcase Literary. (Apr.)
